Secundina Gonzalez, affectionately known as "GrandmaOphie", was a parent volunteer at our school for over 25 years. During that time she worked daily in the kindergarten classrooms and volunteered weekly in each classroom of her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren. Grandma Ophie was dedicated to education and children, and we are honored to have known her. It is with pleasure that we seek to remember her by supporting a former Smythe student who will work to serve otheres, as Grandma Ophie served us.
